Sustainable Sewing and Home Textile Waste

September is sewing month and we're collaborating with partner blog Creativity Unmasked to look at home sewing textile waste and how to be a more conscious crafter (but still have fun!).  Head on over to the post at Creativity Unmasked for a ideas on trying to be a more considered sewist or crafter, along with some interesting links to lower waste sewing resources and creative projects to try.

Reflecting on a Year in the New Garden - The Value of Garden Journals/Photos

It's officially been a year since we arrived at our new home.  In the midst of all the chaos, hard work, and many changes that have happened over the past year it's hard sometimes to see the evolution from house to settled home or bare dirt to growing garden. When I feel frustrated at how half settled I feel in the house or how unfinished my to-do lists and plans feel, it always helps to flick back through a few old photos and see just how much progress we've made.
